Chapter 8 Dark Night

A thunderous sound fell from the sky, like a spear piercing Crouching Tiger Ridge.

Deng Zhong looked up at the sky, feeling that something was unusual tonight.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from the front camp, resounding throughout the night. Deng Zhong frowned, hung his sword on his waist, picked up his mountain ax, and strode out of the tent with swift steps.

"Brother Deng, the Xiqi army has attacked the camp."

Yu Qing's expression was solemn. Generally speaking, fighting at night is unfavorable due to the line of sight, but Jiang Ziya did the opposite. The sound of fighting coming from the front camp became louder and louder, and it was obvious that the two sides were fighting fiercely.

In normal times, Yu Qing would have rushed forward and fought with the enemy without hesitation, but his master had orders, and his task was to assist Deng Zhong in guarding the food and grass. Military orders were like mountains, and Yu Qing did not dare to disobey them.

Deng Zhongdao: "Don't pay attention. Our mission is to ensure the safety of food and grass."

In the front camp, Wen Taishi was sitting in command and Fairy Caiyun was assisting. Although Jiang Ziya had many generals under his command, it was not that easy to break through the front camp. The back camp was the key to victory or defeat.

Yu Qing nodded, turned around, and said loudly: "Everyone, cheer up and patrol carefully."

"Enemy attack!"

Deng Zhong immediately ordered more than a few thousand old soldiers to attack Xiqi's army in a mighty manner.

"Enemy attack!"

Deng Zhong said: "Yes, Xin Jia was not good at martial arts and died in my hands. Why do you want to avenge him?"

"Soldiers, follow me to annihilate the enemy."

Zhou Ji was just a general of Huang Feihu's, and he was unknown on the Xiqi battlefield. Deng Zhong didn't take it seriously at all. Through the corner of his eye, Yu Qing and Yang Jian were fighting fiercely, but there was a huge difference in strength between the two.

, Yu Qing’s defeat is just a matter of time.

…

Zhou Ji said angrily: "I am Zhou Ji under Prime Minister Jiang, and it was you, the traitor, who killed General Xin!"

After all, military commanders can be promoted fastest through military exploits. Zhou Ji was not willing to be a guard in the rear all his life.

"You are shameless!"

When Zhou Ji saw Deng Zhong charging on the battlefield and killing countless Xiqi troops in a short time, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, picked up his weapons and rushed towards Deng Zhong. Although his combat effectiveness was not as good as that of Huang Feihu's sons, he could face Deng Zhong.

A warrior like Zhong could withstand dozens of rounds. Once Yang Jian had dealt with Yu Qing and had his hands free, Deng Zhong would die.

Deng Zhong shouted: "Use a rolling stone!"

Zhou Ji was Huang Feihu's family general. He used words to provoke Huang Feihu back then. After defecting to Xiqi with Huang Feihu, he was also put in high regard by Jiang Ziya and served as a partial general in the army.

Yang Jian said calmly: "I only stopped your murderous tactics, and I didn't attack any mortals. Why are you so excited?"

"Deng Zhong!"

A stone hit Yang Jian, and the red line between Yang Jian's eyebrows opened, and his divine eye shot out a ray of light, smashing the stone into pieces. When he saw another wave of stone rain coming, he stood up from the ground, and his body released several rays of mana.

It was like a god coming down to earth, blocking the boulder boldly, and then waving his hands, the rain of stones flew into the air, and then disappeared.

After a while, hundreds of people from the Xiqi Army reached the mountain. The people behind them rushed up the mountain continuously. With Yang Jian casting a spell, the attack from the merchant camp was like a decoration and posed no threat to the Xiqi Army.

Yu Qing was furious and shouted: "Yang Jian, you are a Qi practitioner, but you actually cast spells on mortals, how disgusting!"

The Shang army and the Xiqi army fought fiercely, and the battlefield was always controlled near the gate. For now, the food and grass are still very safe.

Yu Qing's blood surged up and he rushed towards Yang Jian.

"Archery!"

Once the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation was broken, all Xiqi generals knew that Wen Taishi was about to run out of energy. Through Huang Feihu's relationship, Zhou Ji took the initiative to apply for transfer to the front line, hoping to make some contributions and improve his military rank.

Deng Zhong glanced at Zhou Ji lightly, feeling strange.

"Here."

Either you die or I die on the battlefield. You can imagine Yu Qing's fate. Deng Zhong knew it but could do nothing. After all, if he survived this battle, he still had hope to avenge Yu Qing. If he died, he would have to work for Heaven for the rest of his life.

.

Seeing someone hit by an arrow, the merchant troops guarding the gate shouted. The sentries on the arrow tower fired arrows in response. With a few whooshes, several Xiqi troops fell on the way to attack.

However, during the battle with Zhang Guifang, Zhou Ji failed and was captured. Jiang Ziya transferred him to the rear to protect the city.

If you fall from a height of tens of meters, even if you don't die, you will probably be crippled. These people will have no chance to go to the battlefield in the future.

Yang Jian gave an order, and the five hundred archers in the rear prepared their bows and arrows. A shower of arrows fell on the merchant camp, and the merchant army suffered heavy losses.

Jiang Ziya knew that Zhou Ji was good at martial arts and had a calm temperament, so he gave him a chance and asked him to work with Yang Jian to raid the merchant camp's grain and grass supplies.

There are thousands of soldiers guarding the rear camp, all veterans of the army. During the war, they are calmer than anyone else.

Yang Jian knew clearly the level of the two disciples of the Grand Master. Not to mention the two talented people in the realm of earthly immortals, he was not afraid even if they had the cultivation level of golden immortals.

"Who are you? Tell me your name. I will not kill unknown people."

"General Yang, the enemy is heavily defended and the only option is to attack by force."

He originally planned to attack by surprise, but after using his divine eyes to check the strength of the rear camp, Yang Jian gave up decisively. For the current plan, the only way to complete the mission assigned by Master Jiang was to attack by force.

Following his order, three thousand Xiqi elites launched an attack on the mountain.

Several arrows pierced the sky and landed on the merchant camp. Several merchant soldiers were unable to dodge and screamed and fell to the ground.

These stones are not big, but each one weighs more than ten or twenty kilograms. When they are hit from a high place, the damage caused to the Xiqi Army is extremely huge. The Xiqi Army screams repeatedly, and at least one or two hundred people are stoned.

Hit and rolled down the mountain.

The hundreds of soldiers guarding the gate picked up the stones that had been prepared in the baskets and threw them down the mountain one by one.

Yang Jian said disdainfully: "The light of fire particles dares to compete with the sun and the moon."

After a while, the soldiers held torches and illuminated the entire rear camp as bright as day.

At this time, Yang Jian led three thousand elites to ambush at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the rear camp was heavily guarded, he felt that things were a little tricky.

Deng Zhong nodded with satisfaction. Under such visual conditions, if the enemy did not come, then it would definitely be a brutal fight.

Yang Jian said: "Everyone listen to this and follow me to attack the camp."

Deng Zhong was stunned. Faced with conventional warfare methods, Yang Jian actually used magic to stop him. It was so shameless.

"Yang Jian, go to hell!"

Yu Qing shouted loudly, swung the red gold sword in his hand, and slashed at Yang Jian. Yang Jian swung his spear horizontally, causing sparks to fly, and easily blocked Yu Qing's attack. Then he dodged and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was behind Yu Qing without anyone noticing. He thrust a spear in his hand and stabbed Yu Qing. Yu Qing was unprepared. His back was pierced and blood flowed out from the tip of the spear. Yu Qing's eyes widened.

With eyes wide open, he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Yang Jian shook his head and used magic to kill weak opponents like Yu Qing. He had no sense of accomplishment. Originally, he was going to use martial arts to defeat Yu Qing in a dignified way. However, on the other side of the battlefield, Zhou Ji was chased by Deng Zhong, and there was a danger.

The whole body is surrounded, so the battle is quick and decisive.
